Assays  and  Analyses  of  Ores,  Minerals,  Metals,  Fertilizers,  Waters, 
Products  of  the  Arts,  etc.,  etc! 

Investigations  made  and  advice  furnished  in  the  development  of  new 
manufacturing  processes  and  in  the  prosecution  of  all  departments  of 
chemical  and  metallurgical  industries  and  manufactures  involving  the 
applications  of  chemistry. 

Expert  Evidence  in  chemical  questions  before  the  Courts. 

TERMS 

Cash  on  delivery  of  the  certificate  of  analysis  or  assay. 

In  the  case  of  clients  not  personally  known  to  us,  a  deposit  is  required 
to  the  amount  of  one-half  of  the  cost  of  the  work  ordered,  the  balance 
being  payable  on  delivery  of  the  certificate. 

Prepayment  required  on  samples  sent  by  express. 

Special  arrangements  made  with  manufacturing  establishments,  metal- 
lurgical works,  etc.  ,  to  furnish  advice  and  analytical  work  by  the  year. 

SAMPLES. 

The  quantities  given  on  the  following  list  under  the  heading  "Required 
Sample,"  are  what  it  is  usually  desirable  to  send  in  order  to  insure  a  fair 
average,  although,  as  a  rule,  much  larger  than  is  required  for  the  analysis

*  safljpJ.e is  usually  safer  than  a  small  one,  especially  when 
the  material  is  a  mechanical  mixture  of  different  substances  and  when  it 
is  not  in  a  finely  powdered  state. 

Every  care  should  be  taken  to  insure  that  the  sample  shall  fairly 
represent  the  average  composition  of  the  lot  from  which  it  is  taken. 
Samples  are  best  taken  by  an  experienced  sampler.  In  cases  where  one 
is  not  to  be  had,  a  fair  average  of  larger  lots  of  crushed  or  powdered 
substances  may  be  obtained  by  carefully  mixing  the  whole  by  shoveling, 
etc. ,  and  dividing  the  heap  into  quarters  ;  one  of  these  quarters  is  then, 
mixed  and  again  quartered,  and  the  operation  repeated  until  a  sample  of 
suitable  size,  say  one  or  two  pounds,  is  obtained.  In  the  case  of  large 
lots  of  uncrushed  ores  or  other  substances  occurring  in  large  lumps  or 
masses,  a  sample  of  one  or  more  tons  may  be  taken  by  careful  selection, 
crushed  and  "  quartered  down, "  as  before  described.  In  the  case  of  pow- 
dered substances,  commercial  products,  etc.,  in  barrels  or  other  packages- 
of  uniform  size  or  weight,  an  average  sample  may  be  obtained  by  taking 
an  equal  measure  from  each  package  or  from  each  of  a  given  number  of 
packages,  selected  at  random,  mixing  these  samples  thoroughly  and 
quartering  down  as  before  described. 

Samples  of  substances  liable  to  change  in  the  amount  of  moisture 
they  contain,  by  drying  out  or  by  absorption  of  moisture  from  the  air,  are 
best  sent  in  well  corked  or  stoppered  bottles,  or  in  tightly  closed  tin  cans 
or  boxes,  preferably  with  a  strip  of  writing-paper  pasted  over  the  joint 
between  the  cover  and  body. 

Samples  of  waters  for  analysis  should  be  sent  in  clean  glass  bottles  or 
demijohns,  tightly  closed  with  new  corks.  Before  filling  with  the  sample, 
the  bottles,  etc.,  should  be  most  carefully  washed  out  with  clean  water, 
taking  special  care  to  remove  all  solid  impurities,  and  then  repeatedly 
rinsed  out  with  the  water  to  be  analyzed.  The  bottles  should  not  be 
filled  above  the  junction  of  the  neck  with  the  body. 

In  the  case  of  complete  analyses  of  the  waters  of  mineral  springs, 
it  is  usually  important  that  the  samples  should  be  taken  by  the  chemist

in  person,  who  is  thus  enabled  to  make  such  investigations  as  can  only  be 
conducted  at  the  spring. 

Samples  of  industrial  gases  are  taken  by  experienced  samplers  when 
the  analysis  cannot  be  made  on  the  spot.  In  the  case  of  very  remote 
location  of  the  works,  when  a  sampler  cannot  be  sent,  apparatus  with 
complete  instructions  for  taking  the  samples  will  be  furnished  on  applica- 
tion. A  deposit  of  the  value  of  the  apparatus  is  required  in  such  cases, 
to  be  deducted  from  the  charge  for  the  analysis  when  the  apparatus  is 
returned  in  good  condition. 

All  samples  sent  for  analysis  should  be  accompanied  by  explicit  instructions 
as  to  the  kind  of  analysis  required,  or  when  this  cannot  be  done,  the  purpose  that 
the  analysis  is  intended  to  serve  should  be  stated.  The  chemist  has  otherwise 
no  discretion  except  to  make  a  complete,  and  often  necessarily  costly, 
analysis. 

On  the  following  list  is  given  a  series  of  tests  and  analyses  of  various 
degrees  of  completeness,  corresponding  to  the  usual  requirements  of 
most  of  the  leading  departments  of  manufacturing  and  mining  industry, 
commerce  and  sanitary  science,  with  the  charge  for  each  and  statement 
of  the  amount  of  sample  that  it  is  usually  expedient  to  furnish  for  the 
analysis.

substance  are  charged  for  at  the  rate  of  one-half  of  the  charge  for  an 
assay  for,  or  quantitative  determination  of,  the  substance  in  question,  ex- 
cept in  the  case  of  the  precious  metals  in  ores,  etc.,  where  the  question 
can  only  be  determined  by  an  assay.

from  the  nature  of  the  case,  the  analysis  must  be 
made  at  the  works,  the  charge  will  be  for  time  and 
traveling  expenses.     The  last  two  items  require  a

only  to  works  within  two  hours'  distance  from  New
